You guys really are the best. It makes me feel so good knowing you guys are all here for her and for us.
Thank you all so much. Eddie, thank you for saying such a sweet thing in your comment. It was truly very nice of you.
We're waiting to see what she's like in the morning. Still hoping for just a UTI.

Ok so I've got a bit of an update. Like I said, yesterday at the vet we decided to try the UTI medication in hopes she would be the small percentage of kittens that young who get one. They gave her a shot to calm her stomach and gave us some antibiotics to give to her as well as some special food to help with it. As soon as I got her back to Brendan's house I gave her both her antibiotic and switched her to her new food. Little Hida was understandably tuckered out from her stressful morning and fell asleep on top of my sandals. A little bit later Brendan and I left to swing by my place (mind you, I left with no shoes as I didn't want to wake Hida lol) and when we came back Hida was in a total playful mood! She played (and played HARD) for probably about an hour. She was even letting us touch her side (where the doctor could not touch without her screaming in pain). Of course this made both Brendan and I happy, but we remained cautious as we didn't want to get our hopes up and have the problem not be solved. So, as the vet had said, if she's not better by late Thursday or Friday then it's not a UTI. SHe told us that if it was a bigger problem she would become more lethargic and eventually would want to do nothing but sleep. When I left little Hida was curling herself up between Brendan's legs for the night. I called Brendan as soon as I woke up this morning to see how she was doing. Apparently when he woke up she was curled up tight in his armpit, and once she woke she started into a massive play session again. Brendan called the vet to get their opinion of the situation and according to the vet we should be "cautiously optimistic." He mentioned that he was surprised that she had made such a turn around yesterday and that we might have "dodged the bullet on this one." Of course he said to monitor her because we're not in the clear yet. He also recommended that if she continued to do well we take her in for another of the same shot they gave to her yesterday. Brendan agreed and also added that if she keeps doing well he'll take her in for more bloodwork to check her levels (a couple of things had been "high normal" yesterday). So, we're excited, but still trying not to be too excited. I'm really hoping that we did in fact come out of this without anything serious, but I'm certainly not letting my guard down!
I'm going to ask for continued vibes, because I have no doubt that it's TCS vibes and the prayers from our friends that have gotten her this far! Thank you all so much for what you've done already.
It means the world to us.
(Sorry it's long, I just wanted to give you guys a full update.)

That is really great Katherine. I hope Hida is okay in the end. She might just be a special care kitty. Its great that she was playful and feeling a little better. Brendan sounds like a good kitty dad. More vibes for Hida. HB's from Meishka.
I'm glad things are cautiously looking up for Hida
. My continued prayers, thoughts, and vibes coming y'alls way!!! Cosette and Eponine send warm purrs and head butts their way! Cosette says to tell Hida "Mew mew meoooooooow maw maw purr meow" and that she'll know what that means
YAY!!! I am so glad that she is acting better! I pray that she stays better, too!!!
You guys are angels for taking such good care of her!!!

Thanks so much for all of the encouragement you guys!! Make sure to give all of your kitties scritches in return for their sweet headbutts, purrs, and words of encouragement (thank you Cosette!). Fingers crossed for Hida's continued improvement!
From all of us to all of you
Stay strong Hida and get well soon.
Brendan and Katherine keep it up! Let me know if I can help in any way since I am so close

Thank you Mary, that's very kind of you. If I think there's anything you may be able to help with, I'll absolutely let you know. We've been taking her to East Orange Animal Hospital over near the intersection of Colonial and Alafaya and they've been about as kind as one can be so far. Thank you again for your kind offer and well wishes.
I'm so happy to see that update!
Sounds like your quick action in taking Hida to the vet for treatment may have nipped a serious situation in the bud. :bightumb:

Last I saw her was at about 4:30 this afternoon and she was doing great. Running around, jumping on and attacking everything, and purring her little fool head off. Things are still going well, but we're still trying to be cautious about our excitement. We're thrilled with her turnaround so far though.
TCS vibes rock.

It sounds like Hida is doing much better.
Kittens can be quite resilient little creatures.
All the best to the three of you.
